Digital Home Thoughts: PC Magazine Takes a Look at Two Sub-$800 USD MiniDV Cameras

"When we looked at affordable DV (digital video) camcorders last year (First Looks, December 30, 2003) we weren't thrilled with any of them. Since that time, camera giants Canon and Sony have each revamped their sub-$800 offerings, with good results. We're still waiting for a compact DV camcorder that also doubles as a good still-image camera (with just 1MP image sensors for stills, neither of these fits the bill). But either is a solid choice for those looking to shelve an aging analog recorder for capturing family memories."
